Gastronomic Possibilities

There Is one aspect Of the question which is
OF such extreme Importance that it should
have received attention long ago. It. is DOS
sible to combine vegetable and animal flavors.
and thus produce an infinite variety of new
favors. / do not refer to the combinations
made in the kitchens in stews and vegetable
soups-but to far more subtle and delicious
combinations in the living animal. 1t is well
known that many birds and beasts are un-
palatable at certain times of the year. owing
to the food they eat On the other hand. it
Is proved that the canvasback duck, the
most delicious morsel known to mortal pala:e,
owes Its exquisite aroma entirely to the so
called Wild celery on which it feeds In the
Chesapeake bay; for if the same bird is killed
In the state Of New York or in New JERSEY
Its flavor is not superior to that of other
ducks Again, the flavor Of Congo chickens
Is described by an African tourist as being of
peculiar excellence, and he adds that these
chickens are fed almost exclusively on pine
apples.
Why should not the principle here involved
be applied in systematic manner? By rear
ing poultry and other animals on food of a
special fragrance this quality might be i'm
parted to their meat, and the producers, like
certain winegrowers, might make fortunes by
securing an international reputation for the
excellence Of their special pyramids" Such
original nuanceS Of flavor would not only de
light the epicures, but stimulate anew the
tagging appetites Of invalids, prove potent
weapon IN combating the most prevalent of
modern disorders dyspepsia-besides open
ing wide field for the exercise of human in
genuity and creating a new industry.-The

THE DAYS OF GIANTS.

No Important Difference in the Size of
Primitive and Modern Men.
An opinion was current, in the last century,
that our ancestors, at some time in the past,
were the equals or superiors in size of the
largest men now TO be found. NJ. Henrion
presented TO the Academic des Inscriptions,
in his, memoir on the variations in the
size Of man from the beginning of the world
till the Christian era, in which Adam was
given 123 feet inches and Eve us feet 9$
inches. But after the first pair the human
race, in his imagination, suffered regular
decrease, so that Noah was only 100 feet high,
while Abraham shrank down to 2S feet,
Moses 10 IS feet, the mighty Hercules to 10
feet 81 inches and Alexander the Great to a
bare 6J{ feet. The communication, It is said,
was received with enthusiasm and was re-
garded, at the time, as a wonderful dis
covery' and sublime vision
The complaint about the degeneracy of the
human race is not new, but dates as far back
rs the time of Homer, at least; for the men of
his day were not like the heroes of whom he
sang. 1t is not confirmed, but contradicted,
by all the tangible facts, and these are not a
few. Human remains that are exhumed,
AAoOA AAfAA6 AcpOcSu III luo grave LOT many
centuries, as in the catacombs of Paris, have
nothing gigantic about them. The armor,
the cuiraSseS and the casques of the warriors
ofthe middle ages can be worn by modern
soldiers, and many Of the knights suits
would be too small for the cuiraSSiers of the
European armies; yet they were worn by the
selected men, who We're better fed, stronger
and more robust than the rest Of the popula-
ton. The bones Of the ancient Gauls, which
are uncovered in the excavations of tumuli,
while they are Of large dimensions, are COM
parable with those of the existing populations
Of many places in France.
The Egyptian mummieS are the remains of
persons Of small or medium stature, as are
also the Peruvian and Mexican mummies and
the rlummieS and bones found in the ancient
monuments Of India and Persia And even
the most ancient relics we possess of individ-
ualS OF the human species, the bones of men
who lived in the tertiary period, an epoch
the remote antiquity of which goes back for
hundreds Of centuries, do not show any i'm
portant differences in the sizes of the print
tive and Of the modern man.-Popular

A star fell from the zenith bright,
Adown It swept. a track OF light.
A spirit left its earthly home,
Through boundless unknown tracts to roam
Tncy marked the two, the star, the soul;
They said, so long as time shall roll,
When falls a star from boundless height,
A spirit too shall take its fight.
Unknown, unseen by mortal eye,
Each night a star falls from the sky;
Unknown, unsung by mortal song,
Each second bears a soul along.

Thhe Chicago Lever of week before
last said that the Republican candi-
date for Governor in Kentucky was
so excedinglyunpopular that he could
not POSSIBLY poll tie full Republican
vote, while the Prohibition and Labor
candidates were going to slow wen
derful gains. AS might have been
expected after that prediction, the
official result shows very large Repub
llcan gains, SO large that for some
days the election of Gen. Bradley
was confidently predicted and almost
conceded by even the Democratic
press, though at the last previous
gubernatorial election the Democrat
ic majority, on not SO full a vote as
that on the ist inst, was more than
$4,000. The Republicans have made
large gains in the Legislature, and
have fighting chance to carry the
State in 1888, The official vote not
yet fully announced will show that
the Labor vote is less than IN 1886,
while the p,ohibi,ionists just about
hold their own. There are some
more elections 70 be held in the near
future, and we are looking anxiously
for the publication Of the prophetic
visions OF Rev.(?) VanFleet, of the
Lever.
